A delegation from the Technical and Allied Workers Union travelled on Friday 17th August, 2012 to Antigua on request of the Company to discuss possible solution to the industrial impasse which has once again led Union and workers to take industrial action.

TAWU's delegation consisted of President General, Senator Chester Humphrey, Trevor Xavier Assistant General Secretary and Shop Stewards Larry Joseph and Randy Alexander. The delegation was joined by Andre Lewis ,1st Vice President who together with Humphrey was in Antigua earlier for a Regional Trade Union meeting with Cable & Wireless.

The Grenada Technical and Allied Workers' Union writes with reference to the above captioned subject matter and further to our meeting with you this morning August 14th at Union Headquarters TAWU House, Green Street, St. George's.

The Union repeats its acute disappointment with the Company's position in respect of a resolution of the issue under reference. We are of the view that LIAT treats its employees and the Union with utter contempt and disregard.

At a meeting held on the afternoon of August10th 2012, workers of LIAT (1974) Ltd. represented by the Grenada Technical and Allied Workers’ Union, voted to intensify industrial action over the issue of the payment of 3.4 million dollars arising from the Extended Hour Payment and Allowances.

This issue was the cause of industrial action last year and it is again haunting air travel of the Regional Airline into Grenada at Carnival.

The Union anticipates that air travelers using LIAT will be affected but it is left with no alternative as the matter remains unresolved.
